I don't scare off that easy SaltiDawg. I can see that you and akirby are long time members here with many positive contributions. I hope to be one too.
Just because my first post is rather negative in nature, don't think that is all I am about. I have some good things to offer.
The crack about unsupervised child was uncalled for. I was in the same room with my boy when this happened. I assume that you do not have kids or are so in control of yours that you keep them 100% incheck.

When I said I take responsibility for this I meant it. It was dropped on my watch. That is my fault. I was simply pointing out various problems associated with this remote. I am allowed to do that right??? I am not the only one.
I may reconsider using the 50% off and buy another one. It seems the general consensus here is I am the wrong one. Maybe so. I know a little more about "man ing up" that I willing to discuss with you.
Hope to have more civil interactions with you in the future.
